Made of galvanized steel, the heavy-duty wall anchors offer the best opportunity to straighten the walls. Their unique design also allows them to be tightened for wall improvement. The durable piers are mechanically driven down to competent soil. They permanently stabilize the foundation and offer the best opportunity to lift it back to level. We also addressed the sagging floors by installing several IntelliJacks in the crawl space underneath the house. These sturdy supports, also made of galvanized steel, permanently stabilize the floor and floor joists. They also prevent further sagging and can lift the floors back to level. The IntelliJacks will not rust or corrode. They also are designed to stop settling, but they can easily be adjusted if any settlement occurs. To keep the basement dry, we installed waterproofing products including the BasementGutter interior drainage system in the basement’s sub-floor to catch any water that might seep into the basement through the walls or floor. This water is then directed to the SafeDri Triple sump pump system that replaced the older, failing sump pump. The SafeDri Triple is equipped with three powerful pumps inside its liner, as well as an external backup battery. This reliable system will always work to pump any seeping water out of the basement. The homeowners now have peace of mind knowing their home will be dry, safe and healthy because of these reliable repair solutions.
